I mean if they had managed to create the bomb first, we might've seen those suns in a lot more places.

Good thing they were grossly incompetent by the late stages of the war

They were led half by people believing in magic and half by people preparing their own golden parachutes and life somewhere in Argentina.
This is about the same as Russia's attempt to play caesar since 2022.

Their industrial output was powerfull, r&d as well, they've made thousands of fau and fau-2 missiles and those were bleeding age tech.

My father was a 1-year old kid in Berlin at the end of WWII.
Thanks for not doing that. I wouldn't be writing this comment.

Much like Japan, Germany having its cities razed was nothing new, we had been carpet-bombing the shit out of them for years. What difference does it make to your war plans if the enemy does it with 1 bomb or 5,000? 1 plane is easier to shoot down than 50 or w/e.

Well other than the radiation of course, psychology mainly. There's a big psychological difference from one bomb wiping out a city compared to thousands. Though I might argue that fire bombing a city is more horrific really.

Picture this: 50 planes with nukes

We didn't have 50 nukes in WW2, we barely had a couple and each one took weeks or even months to build because we just couldn't produce U-235/Pu-239 very quickly at the time. We might've been able to make 50 nukes had the war gone on twice as long as it did, assuming Germany didn't kick-start their own development after seeing them used and lob one at DC or NYC or something first.
